Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 섬의 거센 바람과 헤더 이탄이 하이랜드파크에 훈연과 꿀의 이중성을 새긴다. 작은 퍼킨 캐스크에서 숙성한 14년산 바이킹 소울은 짙은 호박빛을 띤다. 코에는 끈적한 셰리와 쌉쌀한 마멀레이드, 마지팬, 천연 타르가 겹겹이 오른다. 57도의 입안은 진한 다크티와 향신료 빵, 비터 초콜릿이 층을 이루며 강한 탄닌을 드러낸다. 여운은 진한 홍차와 건포도, 담뱃잎이 쌉싸름하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
well, hello! A rather sticky and orangey sherry at first, gloopy bitter marmalade with coriander seed, marzipan, orgeat syrup, almond oil, fir wood, natural tar and treacle sponge pudding. Wonderfully dense, sticky and with a distinct feeling of 'guilty pleasure'. With water: orange oils, bergamot, lapsing souchong, hessian, cocoa and more dark grains
restaurant Palate
the sherry is up front once again, lots of strong dark tea, spicy dark grained breads, stout beers, bitter chocolate, herbal cocktail bitters, aniseed, cough medicine and wintergreen. Probably a few notches too tannic for me, which I find very often with modern cask strength sherried HPs. Goes on with more chocolate, leather and tobacco - very classical in that regard. With water: still rather punchy and focussed on bitter marmalade, herbal extracts, pumpernickel, dark chocolate with sea salt, umami paste and hessian
timer Finish
long, quite bitter, big notes of strong black tea, raisins, tobacco leaf, more marzipan and liquorice
